Apprentices make a very strong commitment to their training at Heritage Plumbing and Heating.
In an economy crying for qualified technicians, one Nexstar member company found a source for technical help that keeps pace with its demand for service - it is growing its own.
Heritage Plumbing and Heating's unique apprentice program includes a contractual commitment, similar to a military enlistment. After 90 days of hire, the apprentice must make a commitment to complete the training program or compensate the company for its training costs. This home-grown training and recruitment has evolved into a program that steadily produces skilled talent, an excellent company culture with an excellent retention factor.
